This is the perfect time for the bash Pioli crowd to come out. Clayborn and Hayward both will be more productive than Tyson Jackson and we coulda drafted Sanchez.

You got Allen Bailey from Miami later as well. Very good 3-4 end draft.

There is only one way for the Colts to go here it's just a matter of which flavor. Since Polian has a hard on for big ten players Carimi is the pick.

Carimi wore a funny hat.

That's what I am thinking. If Watt is still on the board, I could see Dallas wanting to move up. Being at #40 with an extra first rounder next year might just fit us pretty well this season, and next.

Sorry everyone, I was kinda busy. Gimme 5 mins. to make the pick.

With the 22nd overall pick in the 2011 draft, the Indianapolis Colts select: Anthony Castonzo, OT, Boston College

I think Castonzo's better than Carimi and the Colts need an OT.

It works out that the guy the Eagles wanted all along is sitting here. While Jimmy Smith gets a little bit of consideration, this pick is easy.

The Philadelphia Eagles select Gabe Carimi, OT, Wisconsin

This is the perfect fit for the Eagles. He has been compared to Jon Runyan, who did OK for Philly. This kid lined up against Clayborn, Heyward, Kerrigan and Bailey and neutralized them all at Wisconsin, and lined up against JJ Watt every day at practice. He has a nastiness to play RT, and with Michael Vick being a lefty, that works out perfectly.

PM sent to Archie Bunker.

Carimi is the one OL I'd be ok with the Chiefs taking in the first. Good pick.

Thanks

I'd be good with the Chiefs taking Carimi or Castonzo in the first, personally.

If we take Solder, I wont be too happy. I'll be content with Carimi.

The Saints could use a DE here and a couple of decent options have fallen but instead we are going to role the dice on a combine riser. When I look at LB corp I see Vilma and nothing else, plus I think Gregg Williams is just the type of DC to max this guy out.

The New Orleans Saints select Martez Wilson, LB, Illinois

Does anyone know why the 49ers pick in the second is so much lower than their first?

However, I will say, this is a great argument.

Christ. I didn't see that the Rams picked Solder. My apologies guys.

It actually all worked out better anyway.

They didn't really select Solder as much as BCF just took a huge Solder-shaped dump on the mock's chest.

ROFL

I need to lay off, I'm getting to the point where I feel bad for BCF.

Seahawks need some playmakers on offense outside of Mike Williams who has tight end speed they didn't have much last year. They also need a QB but I think Ponder at 25 is a reach and I could see this team being in the Andrew Luck sweepstakes next year. Seattle selects Leonard Hankerson WR Miami Florida.

There IS something incredibly amusing about a Rams GM who would actually draft a tackle in the first round. Reminds me of Matt Millen drafting all those WRs.

I really thought Hankerson would make it to the Patriots pick. I haz a sad.

I am incredibly happy I get to make my selection tonight! I was going to be out of commission all day tomorrow. I just got done wrapping up my pick in advance to Hamas.

Nonetheless, here's the guy at the top of my board at a position the Ravens could use:

With the 26th selection in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Baltimore Ravens select DE/DT J.J. Watt, from the University of Wisconsin.

I feel like playing to the strength of this draft -- defensive line -- would have yielded better returns for about half a dozen teams in the first round. But instead they chose to go other directions, allowing me to get a fantastic catch in Fairley for my Texans at #11, and another guy in Watt at the bottom of the first that is commonly projected to go in the teens.

In terms of pure need, I would have preferred a better WR class. OU's Ryan Broyles would be perfect in Baltimore, and Justin Blackmon is probably a pipe dream but still would have ruled. But there's only one WR I like here (Baldwin) but he doesn't improve this team as much as Watt does.

With Gregg and Terrance Cody manning the middle, and Haloti Ngata ****ing up shit on the other side of the line, Watt landing in Baltimore would have the same effect that Fairley would have in Houston: the potential for creating a DL that is next to impossible to block, and a potential season-leading total in sacks for Suggs.

BossChief has been messaged. His Falcons are on the clock.

You think it was a reach? All the mocks i've seen have Baldwin ahead of Hankerson but Baldwin just seems like a bust honestly.

I agree. I think it was a reach for Hankerson, though.

Not much of one for me to be that invested in it, but yeah.

I like the Hankerson pick. I wanted to take him.

This draft sucks it was either reach for a WR or a QB. Hankerson could be a playmaker though Seattle needs one.

I'm going to show my Badger bias here, but I love this pick. Dude is a beast and great with his hands.

I second Spicy. I was gonna take Watt at the Vikings pick, but decided it would be bad to have two white DEs

Watt was going to be the guy at 28 for the Pats, and Jordan was going to be the guy at 17, but they got sniped from under my nose.

Hard to explain why Watt fell, as well as Fairley. I think a lot of owners are outsmarting themselves so far.

With the 27th pick in the first round of the 2011 CP Mock the Atlanta Falcons select

Adrian Clayborn, DE, Iowa

Massive steal this late. Great value.

Nice homer pick. Just kidding thats a steal for the Falcons.

This guy is just a perfect fit for this team, and he's a huge position of need. The Pats' DL is quietly atrocious outside of Wilfork.

The New England Patriots select Cameron Heyward, DE, Ohio State

The Bears desperately need offensive line help, as Cutler was sacked a league high 52 times last year. Yes, part of this is because of Martz's stupidity, but the most significant reason is the suck up front. Thus, my inner True Fan must be satisfied. Both tackle positions need upgrading, so we'll go with the best remaining OT prospect on the board. This player lacks the high ceiling that one would ideally like in the first, but the floor on him is high. He has a legit chance to stick at LT. Worst-case scenario, he's a high-quality RT:

Derek Sherrod, OT, Miss St.

"****!"

-Rex Ryan


Just when it looked like the Jets were going to get a 5-tech, 3 are taken in the last 4 picks. We could go a few directions here, but in our opinion, we'd be reaching a bit. Since trading down isn't an option, we're going to fill a potential hole that will hopefully help the continued development of our young QB. There's a good chance Braylon Edwards is not retained, therefore:

The Jets select, Jon Baldwin, WR, Pittsburgh

The Bears took Sherrod so that leaves taking the 3rd best CB or an interior offensive lineman. The choice for me is easy, I really like this guy and his teammate who went a few picks ago to the Seabags. The Pittsburgh Steelers select Brandon Harris CB The U.

SNR pm'ed.

Now we're moving.

I really like the last several picks for these teams.

Considering Locker was off the board, I think that's a great pick. I would've taken him over Baldwin myself.

Darren Colledge, Jason Spitz, Josh Sitton, Marshall Newhouse. Those were the starting guards for the Green Bay Packers last year. It won them a Super Bowl, sure, and all of them played admirably and just fine in the playoffs. What they NEED from their offensive line is depth at tackle, since Chad Clifton can't hold on much longer. But the tackle talent is kind of thin right now compared to the ZERO interior linemen who have been taken thus far in this draft.

Other questions are being considered, such as the play of Charles Woodson and how big of a step back he's going to take this year. Clearly Tramon Williams has stepped up and embraced the role of the team's new best CB, and Woodson still has game in him. It's tempting to take a prospect like Jimmy Smith, but there will be others like him in the future. The same goes for the RB prospects, which is a need, but not as glaring as some people think. Ryan Grant IS coming back next year.

Darren Colledge is a free agent. That, and the Packers just have never truly had a real awesome interior presence on their line in a long time. By selecting this guy, he can shore up all the depth on the interior line, and down the road might be able to take over for Scott Wells, who again, was good but needs to get better.

The Green Bay Packers select Mike Pouncey, OG/OC, Florida

That's the first round, boys

Hamas has been notified

On to Round 2 boys.

I was really hoping Sherrod or Harris would make it to this pick, but the insanity of the middle of the round quickly dissipated.

I realize that Woodtard and Law Firm put up respectable stats last year, but they aren't the kind of backs that you can run unless the other team is spread out. I think this guy may end up being the best RB in the draft.

The New England Patriots select Mikel LeShoure, RB, Illinois.

Great picks. Really great picks for each team.

Agreed.

Bills need help in their front 7, since they couldn't stop the run for shit. Thus, they're going with a versatile lineman who is great value at this point:

Muhammad Wilkerson, DE, Temple

Should have gone with LeShoure.

Really great picks for the Bills thus far.

The Cincinnati Bengals had Gabbert thieved in front of them. They didn't trust Newton or Locker, but this is a great risk/reward pick.

Jay Gruden is a WCO guy. This player is a prototypical WCO QB.

The Cincinnati Bengals select Christian Ponder, QB, Free Shoes U

Thanks, dude.

The most obvious pick of the draft.

ROFL

I have a very specific player in mind for the Texans at this point.

There are two teams in front of me, out of about 8, that could opt for this player. But I'm praying for him to fall.

I really wish the Panthers would stop trading away their 2nd round picks. I could've helped their team out immensely with that pick.

They traded their first away last year, too.

I mean, he's talented and Green Bay's backfield sucked for more than half the season, but this is a fantastically deep, deep team except for offensive line. Pouncey's the #1 guard. LeShoure is the kind of back Green Bay needs (speedy, between the tackles runner) but I viewed Pouncey as more valuable to the team and (excuse this phrase, please) a sure thing.

If I had to choose for a Super Bowl competitor between a starting guard and a starting every-down back, I don't even have to think about it.

****.

Both Bengals picks now are the players that I wanted for the 49ers.

Good pick with Ponder. Knew it was a long shot that he would make it back to me.

He's not the starting every down back. Ryan Grant is.

There are other RBs in this draft that will fill the role that LeShoure would for the Packers if they draft him.

Hamas is winning this draft

I think both of my picks were home runs, but Hamas has a huge advantage over the rest of us, having the Patriots bounty of picks.

Yes, with 5 of the first 35 picks he should be winning the draft. That being said, Hamas does have a keen eye for talent(except for that Clausen pick). Combine these two facts and it would be surprising if he wasn't winning the draft.

I too am pleased with the two picks I made thus far; T. Smith for Detroit and B. Harris for Pittsburgh.

D, I think both of your picks will go higher on Draft Day. Touch 'em all, son.

I should be "winning" the draft, I've had a dickton of picks. That said, everyone has made really sound picks so far. There hasn't been a single head-scratcher since the Solder selection, but that was quickly remedied.

Since Mecca is clogging up the pipeline again thus giving no picks to praise or otherwise I figured I'd calculate how much time he has been "on-the-clock" so far in this mock.

31 hours 53 minutes at the time of this post. WTF! C'mon Mecca!

He just really wants us to do the compensatory picks in the 3rd, so he's slowing it up a bit

Yeah Mecca needs to heal his vagina and just come back to the forum full time again.

It's not hard, just don't be such a dick to people and priase the Chiefs when they're doing a good job.

I propose a new rule, as I have in past mocks, one that should not be implemented in the CP 2011 Mock, but in the 2012 one going forward.

If you miss your pick for any reason, you not only lose your pick, you are kicked out of the draft and the next person on the waiting list comes in for you.

Not only that, but all the members in the mock get to anonymously vote before next year's draft as to whether you can come back in next year, or if you should go to the end of the waiting list like everybody else.

This creates a great incentive for everybody to get their picks in a timely fashion, and it also ensures any newcomers will do their damnedest, as their performance in the remainder of the mock will likely play a factor in whether the ejected member will get a chance to return.

Thoughts.

SNR, I appreciate your sarcasm but Mecca needs to put on his big boy pants and step up or out, his act or lack thereof is old.

Three and a half hours left.

Some chiefscafan magic in the other mock:

Could have had this guy instead of Mecca, folks.

If you miss a pick, your ass should be gone, period.

So how are we splitting up Mecca's teams? Or do you have someone in mind to take over for him?

Dude also wanted to draft Mark Ingram........when he was the Chargers. His reasoning? Because Ryan Matthews hasn't proven anything yet.

I've been thinking the Rams need help at tackle.

I will take either of Mecca's teams if he's ejected. Or both.

Hell I'll just pick for every team in every round. I think that'd make this thing click.

I'll take one of his teams if he gets dumped.

He's got an hour.

I would also take a team.

I'll take one of his teams. Honestly, and this is nothing against a n00b joining, I'd rather see his teams split up between people that are already in the draft. This way....you know they're going to already be paying attention to this thread. Shit.....I'll take the Broncos....they're close to my team anyways.

I'm not a noob. I just don't post a bunch. Join date is actually before you. Trust me, I'm sure I'm on this site more than most.

I'm talking about being a Mock Draft n00b.....not a CP n00b.

My opinion:

Give his teams to a new owner. That way, we have more perspectives/voices discussing the draft. The new owner just needs to have his shit together.
